I drive a truck...and the bed has all kinds of debris from carrying stuff. I want to get back into bikes, but dirt bikes. It's been a while.

About a month ago I got rid of the Ducati Monster and bought a grownup's bike, an accountant's bike. Not really, that's the BMW R1200GS, I bought a Ducati Multistrada 1200 S. ;)

my accountant "bike" is a honda elite 110 =P

90mpg, $20/month operating cost (yes that includes insurance and probably the amortized purchase price too)

BTW, this gets my vote for one of the better disguised trolls I've seen on ATOT in a while. I'm sure there are enough people here who consider it a serious question, without realizing how idiotic it is.

I believe he's partially retarded. I also believe he goes to college and doesn't know any accounting majors?

Well if I am partially retarded then I am not a troll since my question would be genuine and legit. :)

I can't be both.

If you want to work as a normal accountant you must be detailed and accurate. If you want to be a truly successful accountant, you must be creative and imaginative.

An accountant with some clever manipulation of credits and debits can get away with the crime of the century unlike armed bank robbers with guns. To know the dark side of accounting, you must work in a place with lax reporting standards like Dubai. That's the real fun. :sneaky:

Not the most exciting but one of the most stable careers. Is that phrased as a mentality?
